Hi Marcus, They are performing a different process than we are. They are updating the magnificent product FRACTINT. It is still a classic bit of software and the inspiration for much of ManpWIN code. I am indebted to the authors of that program for ideas. I chose a different pathway. Both are valid. Best regards, Paul. ---------------------------------------------------------- Paul de Leeuw Computers NSW Central Coast, Australia Email: <mailto:pdeleeuw@deleeuw.com.au> pdeleeuw@deleeuw.com.au www: < <http://www.deleeuw.com.au/> http://www.deleeuw.com.au> ABN 72 360 822 562 ---------------------------------------------------------- _____ From: fractdev-bounces+pdeleeuw=deleeuw.com.au@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:fractdev-bounces+pdeleeuw=deleeuw.com.au@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Rezende Sent: Saturday, 8 March 2014 5:03 AM To: Fractint developer's list Subject: [Fractdev] Sorry, but Fractint is not slowing, but rapidly dying PAUL: As you said some time ago,, Fractint and Winfract personnel are only involved in changing environment and 'gadgets' and not implementing new fractals or having any other 'growing attitude', or really upgrading those programs, That´s how and when begins their senescence, and the obsolescence we are sorrow to feel.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be ANY discussion of booting fractint from USB here, but if we get into lengthy discussions of arcane hardware issues (which I certainly enjoy), we may be getting a little off topic for this list. We'll see how it goes. Anyone interested in sharing technical information about running fractint on various platforms please join me in Fractdev. When I have something to share with end users, I will report here. Please understand I am not trying to shush anyone up, so if you'd like to see this discussion here, by all means say so. Paul wrote: I have found that it depends on the level of USB that you have installed on the computer, as well as the pluggin drive itself. Some thumb drives work on some of my older machines, and some do not. The puzzle is that I have three self-built machines of different ages that all have Gigabyte motherboards, AMD chips, and Award bioses. The oldest and youngest boot USB and CF, but the middle machine does not. The point is that these are not dissimilar, just different ages. Doesn't worry me that one doesn't work, I guess I am just compulsive. I'll compare the bios settings, and see if there's some setting causing different behavior. I really want to try the middle machine because it is the only one with NVIDIA (non-motherboard) graphics, which some folks have suggested might have better VESA support. I do have a plan B. I found a 2.5 inch 80gb SATA drive in my junk drawer that came out of a Dell E1505 Laptop when I upgraded the drive. I'll blow away the XP on it and format with FreeDOS. That should certainly work in a dual boot configuration on the middle machine. Followups to fractdev please.
